Hi all,
I started from week 9 since i run 5k. Unfortunately, 5k is my threshold. I cannot pass it, so i thought i would give this app a try. Ia am not sure if i am follong it correctly or not. It starts with 4 10 minutes runs. I ran the first and second rounds. On the third i ran about 6 minutes before i got really tired and had to walk and that is howvi finished the day by running one minute and then I would walk for a minute. My question is do i keep repeating day one till i can complete all 4 rounds running on my pace, or do slow my pace till I can complete the full course? Thank you for you inputs.

Hi all,
I just started the 10k program. I have been running for a few years but i have not been able to break the 5k threshold. If i don't get tired first then I will have joint problems or tired muscles. So i thought to give this program a try.
I started the first day and the lady told me to run for 10 minutes. I did. She told me to walk. I did. The repeated. The third round, I could not complete the full 10 minutes without walking. There was a few big hill incline which might have contributed to my failure.
My question is that since i was unable to run the full ten minutes on the third round and fourth round, do I need to keep retrying day 1 with slower pace till I can run the whole program? Or jump to day 2 with my pace?
Thank you all for your input.

I've just finished week 5 run 3 and just need a bit of reassurance. I've been logging all my runs out of interest really and I can see that although I'm running for longer periods of time, I could barely do 1 min at beginning so was v happy to do 20 minutes, my average pace and distance has not really improved since I started. This is because every time the length of run increases I have to run a little slower and then my walking is a bit slower as it takes a bit longer to recover. Is this normal? What should I expect? Also I'm not covering the suggested distances for the c25k in the running parts?
